Partially drunk but bored and looking at the indexes (before / after) covid… are we screwed or what? Only thing that changed was free money (now regretting not selling early) or should believe that all things will be fine in 5-10 years

All things will be fine in the long term. Might hurt a little more in the short term, but think about it this way. If the entire US economy collapses we have bigger problems to worry about. Unless you’re purely invested in Precious metals and guns you’re gonna get hit whether holding cash, crypto or Stocks.

Don’t put new money to work! Pool the money and be ready for the right moment. Inflation isn’t an easy thing. There will be pain as it takes more time. But good days will come, years to go though! Cultivate a new hobby, routine, get immersed and lost before you start looking at stock market

I think we hit ATH in less than 2 years. Recession will be light I think. Time to stack some money in ETFs. Every big drawdown people start getting that this time it will be worse than ever and market always recovers. If you are young stack on those ETFs and you will be thankful in a few years time

I think people forget that every day that goes by is one extra day of income/growth for companies. MAYBE valuations go down 10-20% but some people are acting like the collapse of society is starting.

They've been predicting this recession since 2011.

I think its more panic than anything else. According to the Conference Board LEI economy is doing well and according to other indicators we are still in the middle of the business cycle expansion. Maybe some short term correction, but I wouldn't worry about another 2008 at this time.

Danny Moses laid out his 5 stages of investor grief on the “On the Tape” podcast Friday:

1) Denial: Fed will blink and it will be fine
2) Anger: it’s just short sellers
3) Bargaining: I’ll sell when I break even
4) Depression: it’s all over…
5) Acceptance: maybe need another 20% to get there

I believe the saying is "Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered". Implying that the greedier you are, the higher your likelihood of death via stonks.

I have given up on trying to time anything these days. Too much uncertainty and volatility, and the politicians and beauracrats controlling the economy clearly have no idea what they are doing and have been wrong about pretty much everything. Many don’t even understand basic economics. That said, long term it shakes out okay as these things are cyclical. But even the experts can’t seem too time this stuff up correctly. So why even try. Im getting murdered. I was doing so well and now my wealth is evaporating into thin air. Im just dollar cost averaging into core positions (tech, amazon, banks, energy, etc.) so that when it does recover, I’ll see bigger gains. Also the index funds are always eventually going to catch up. I find them fairly safe in the long term. I’m done getting greedy. Most of my speculative plays and Even “good stocks” that I went heavy into ended up bombing and set me back tens of thousands in single positions. It’s tough out here. It’s wearing on my mental health.

If you’re investment horizon is elongated and you’re in marquee blue chips, do not fret.

If you’re down huge, it’s time to reassess holdings as there’s a cyclical rotation taking place.

Worth investing the time to learn how to properly hedge holdings with options…keywords being ‘properly’ and ‘hedge’

Marquee blue chips?

To me, one of the biggest things being overlooked is just how many people weee reading during COVID because they had nothing to do all day. Now they’re suddenly gone and while it’s not to blame on the market, you’re not gonna see those artificial pumps

I am in the same boat. Never have I ever thought about trading against the market, but now I have begun to do it. I trade with SQQQ and other shorting ETFs. No matter what you keep a stop loss point and move on. This is helping me with a few wins these days.

Same here

Read up on dollar cost averaging.
